I love how the woman is carrying the last panel out of the way. I’ve mentioned before how this comic can sometime remind me of Cerebus, and this borderline level of self-awareness that this comic has is totally something you’d find in Cerebus. I love it when comics or characters become self-aware. When done right, it adds another element of storytelling that most writers are afraid or unable to approach.

Thank you. I’m trying to tread the fine line between self-awareness (“oh look, it’s a comic) and breaking the fourth wall (“oh look, we’re characters in a comic”). But when I realized that a picture of the earth in space would work, I just had to carry the gag out.
